Insurance duty of disclosure Before CareSuper as Trustee of the Fund enters into a life insurance contract in respect of the life of another person (a member), it has a duty to tell the insurer anything that it knows or could reasonably be expected to know that may affect the insurer's decision to provide the insurance and on what terms.
CareSuper has this duty of disclosure until the insurance is provided. CareSuper has the same duty before it extends, varies or reinstates the contract.
CareSuper does not need to tell the insurer anything that: Reduces the risk of the insurance, or Is common knowledge, or The insurer knows or should know as an insurer, or The insurer waives the duty to tell the insurer about.
If you as a member of CareSuper do not tell the insurer somethingIf you as the person whose life is to be insured as a member of CareSuper do not tell the insurer something that you know or could reasonably be expected to know that may affect the insurer's decision to provide the insurance and on what terms, this may be treated as a failure by CareSuper to comply with its duty of disclosure.
If CareSuper does not tell the insurer somethingIn exercising the following rights, the insurer may consider whether different types of cover can constitute separate contracts of life insurance. If the insurer does, it may apply the following rights separately to each type of cover.
If CareSuper does not tell the insurer anything they are required to and the insurer would not have provided the insurance if they had been told, the insurer may avoid the contract within three years of entering into it.
If the insurer chooses not to avoid the contract, it may at any time reduce the amount of insurance provided. This would be worked out using a formula that takes into account the premium that would have been payable if CareSuper had told the insurer everything it should have. However, if the contract has a surrender value or provides cover on death, the insurer may only exercise this right within three years of entering into the contract.
If the insurer chooses not to avoid the contract or reduce the amount of insurance provided, it may at any time vary the contract in a way that places the insurer in the same position it would have been in if CareSuper had told the insurer everything it should have. However, this right does not apply if the contract has a surrender value or provides cover on death.
If the failure to comply with the duty of disclosure is fraudulent, the insurer may refuse to pay a claim and treat the contract as if it never existed.
9b. Privacy of your personal information How CareSuper handles your personal information CareSuper collects your personal information to establish and administer your superannuation account. If you choose not to provide your personal information CareSuper may not be able to process your insurance application or administer your superannuation account, or provide you with some services offered by CareSuper.
